Enjoying Jerboa. Just hoping that a small bit of feedback gets noticed that would improve the experience for me a lot.

When reading comments, single click collapses the thread, whilst holding just collapses/expands that one comments vote buttons. Could there please be an option to swap thess two actions?

I can’t help but feel the UX would be improved, at least for myself (but hopefully others), if I could show/hide vote buttons on single tap, and only hide the whole comment thread if I long hold the comment. Right now I keep accidentally collapsing stuff I’m reading the replies to.

Thanks for a great app.

Coming from sync, I definitely feel this difference.

Sync user also :) I think if I had this, and a swipe to return fezture (which has already been requested), then I’ll be pretty comfortable navigating around the app.

With all the other fixes etc already being worked on, Jerboa seems to be shaping up as a decent sync replacement with Laurence’s app going

This one. I liked it the way Boost was.

I would ask what the use case is in collapsing the vote buttons, but not the comment?

I agree. And I’ve seen pics on comments that I want to download but when you tap the pic it collapses the comment. If you long press it collapses the upvote area

Yeah this is what I want changed. I don’t care about the current collapse behavior - it works well and reminds me of RIF.

What I don’t like is images in comments that I can’t click to enlarge or zoom in on

I would like this too, I’m closing many comments without wanting to!

Maybe make the option a toggle so anyone can choose which way they like it more?

Also an option to have vote buttons collapsed by default would be nice.

Like, 99% of the comments I see, I don’t upvote or reply. I use those buttons maybe once a day, but have to see those buttons hundreds of times in each thread, they just take up space without being any useful most of the time.

Maybe it’s just me, but that’s why I ask for an option and not for having it that way for everyone.

Unless I misunderstood you, this is available in Jerboa under setting - look and feel - uncheck the “show action bar for comments by default” or something like that

Oh it’s actually there. I’m not sure if I’m dumb or if it’s a new feature that was added after some recent updates.

Thanks a lot!
